Harbor Freight has 38" x 82" Magnetic Screen Door for $9.99. Shipping is $6.99, otherwise this item is available for purchase In-Store (store locator).
Thanks to community member Obeythe_E for posting this deal.
Note: Availability for in-store purchase may vary by location.
it says "each" and there are 2 panels... so that would make it 82"x40"
Given your previous post you seemed confused by the concept of this screen, or at least that's what your wording indicated.
I do not have experience with this one specifically, but I have owned/used others over the years and yes it's as easy as it seems. The magnets aren't that strong, but strong enough that when they get close they'll snap back in place. Which was also what I said in my previous post.
But again if you're asking about this screen specifically, also not something very clear from your posts, then please disregard this post.

Anyone have a similar one? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around 'opens hands free' yet strong enough magnets to 'snap' closed again.
Well that just means it's light enough to walk through without being forced to use your hand to "break" it open. And because it's light enough the it will swing back to position thanks to the weight of the magnets and snap back into place.
It's just a simple deterrent to stop bugs from getting inside so it doesn't need to be too thick or heavy.
I know what it means. My question is, does it open and re-close as easily as depicted? Anyone have experience with this type screen?

The screen will want to naturally fall back into place. The magnets simply help keep it closed but are weak enough to break open as you walk through. I do not have this one specifically but the others have worked well.
Honestly I tried one of these.. in theory it's a good idea but the slightest breeze it would blow open allowing flies. I ended up getting a retractable screen from Casper screens... No regrets yet

smaller than HF one .. it is 82x20 only
Also, the big lots one has a picture of a more risque looking lady on the box. That's an insta-buy!
